After morning activities including response to a skydance and catching a fish, EJ spent another whole day chilling on the Love Tree - she's in her element, as far as she can be with no precious offspring to nurture :-*
Concern was expressed at Aviemore Ospreys FB that something might be amiss with EJ's left foot, as they had noted via their esteemed photographers that she had been catching/carrying fish right-footed only:
However, the new gorgeous head-on shot from Danny Moore Images shows both feet were being put to good use:
Weren't some of us (especially KAREN, whom I haven't seen here for some time, all the very best to her xxx) were quite worried about her right foot at the beginning of the season, lol? EJ has tended to shake it a lot ever since I've know her.
As for the LG scene, there's no light on subject yet.
EDIT - Forgot to say: it's been very windy and still is.

Love Tree bird just flew and a single chirp was heard.
Three chirps from EJ.
Good Morning Scylla, Mike, Patily and all when you arrive
Thanks for the start off Scylla and for all your early morning posts, pics and videos.
It is certainly very windy there this morning by the looks of it.
I wonder if older birds get arthritis like older people do, if that is the case then EJ may feel a bit stiff in the morning :-) I don't think there is much point in us fretting over it, as she has managed to feed herself all season and seems to have no problem bringing whoppers back to Loch Garten to munch on all day. :-)

Good morning Mary.
Birdies LG DU update.
There is someone preening on the perch, cannot see who it is
Good Morning SCYLLA and MARY and EVERYBODY
I think this is too white for EJ, but then it is very far away and maybe the snip is getting distorted by enlarging.
They're giving me the runaround! Off and back and off and back!
Now:
Good morning, MIKE, PATILY and MARY !!! Have only just raised my head to see you all, and I smiled for the first time this morning ;)

Glad you too are confused, Mary - but you've given us some very good snaps there, much better than any I managed even in VLC :o In fairness to me, maybe it was smudgier and shakier back then.
I shall be off very soon.
Really hard to see who this is Scylla.
